EOS lip balms!!

Those these EOS balms have been all the rage  on youtube I have seen them EVERYWHERE on there and I really didn't get why they were talked about so much. I didn't want to be one of those people who bought something just because everyone else was doing it either!! Untill a friend was telling how awesome they were and that I really needed to check them out. But I figured where I live who knew when we would ever have them since we seem to get things late it seems. I had looked a few times at WalGreens but never saw them so I just let it go and forgot about them. I have four kids and I'm gonna not drag them from store to store to find a "lip balm" just didn't seem  worth it to me. Well I follow EOS on twitter and they mentioned that the new Lemon drop with  spf 15 was gonna  be sold at cvs and I have a cvs just a few blocks from where I live, So I went up there to check it out and sure enough there they were in the cold section with the other chap sticks. I was happy that I had actually found one. So I riped that sucker open to try it out right when I got in my car. I was blown away not only was it really well scented, but it went on so smoothly. I should have done a first impressions vid on this again I didn't want to copy people either! I loved how the scent lasted and it wasn't overly strong. So upon talking to @eosproducts  on twitter they told me that walgreens should have their other scents too the honeysuckle honeydew, and summer fruit varieties, also they informed me they  had a summer pack with the Honeydew,summer fruit and the lemon drop spf 15. So I had some errands to run and I decided to go check that out. I looked all over the place and couldn't find them any where. finally I just asked an employee if they had any and they were all out but this was on a Monday and she said to come back tuesday and they should have a new shipment. So I said ok and my daughter and I were leaving and I was slowly walking by all the lovely makeup seeing if any thing caught my and eye. When low and be hold there was one lonely beach pack it was the last one and I grabed it:) I thought for $9.99 you can't beat that plus it come in this reusable summer bag with a vibrant stripe pattern.  Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos lip balms keep lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.

To line or not to line ?

Ok So for the past few days I have been wanting to blog,but wasn't sure what to write about.I have so much that I want to talk about so many products I want to share that yes I have BOUGHT with MY OWN MONEY! So I decided I would write about eyeliner. I have been on the search for a great eyeliner mainly for my waterline. I have been thinking for a while that I am allergic to some eyeliners because when I put it on my waterline my eyes would burn like crazy. BUT I was a cvs a while ago probably a month ago and go some Prestige and I have never tried that brand before so I figured I would try it. There was a lot to choose from so it took me a while to pick and if anyone out there who knows me knows it sucks to go makeup shopping with me because I take forever. I just want to make sure I am making the right desition and that I'm not gonna regret buying even thought I have made that mistake before. So any ways moving on I decided to pick up the Prestige Total Intensity eyeliner in deepest black.

I was so happy with my purchase after trying the next I couldn't wait. I wanted to blog or film a vid about right away but I wanted to give it a while too. This eye liner good long lasting colour pay off , it goes on smooth and creamy, it does smudge a little  bit its a workable smudge if that is what you are looking for. I let it dry for few. It works really well for the upper eye lids, and its does a pretty good job for the water line too. For me it lasted all day on the upper lid and about 5 hrs on the waterline which is what I have been searching for!! In my book this eye liner is a winner. There are so many good ones out there but its rare that you find one that you feel you can use every day and just be surprised by it and not get bored with it either. It comes in 8 different colors. I can't remember How much I paid for it but for a good drug store eyeliner I remember the pricing being reasonable but pricing with be different depending on where you live. You can get them on their store online here http://shop.prestigecosmetics.com/IW_Products.m4p.pvx?;MULTI_ITEM_SUBMIT
This is the first of Prestige Cosmetics products that I have purchased and tried but I would highly recommend this eyeliner and I would love to try more of what they have to offer! If you have tried them let me know your thoughts and any recs that you think I should try. Thank so much for reading!!

Age Reverse

Now I am no expect on aging and no I am no where near where I should be worried about it yet. Yes I'm 29 and come Dec I'll have my first anniversary of being 29 again hahaha!! I have had the oppurtunity of being on a beauty panel for NeoStrata.com. They sent me a few products in the mail before it even hit stores its from the brand Exuviance. Now I have done a review for this company on your tube so feel free to check that out as well.First I will say that there was a note in there that started if I felt I was to young for this to pass it along so I did. I passed it on to my mother in law and I had her test it out for about two weeks or so and then I asked for her feed back.  Here is what they had sent me.


This is the BioActiv wash which maximize the efficacy of your skin care regimen. Twice a day, jump start your routine with this creamy foaming cleanser, which contains a Polyhydroxy Acid blend, including patented Maltobionic Acid, to gently exfoliate, stimulate cell renewal and resurface skin texture, revealing a fresh, new complexion. The soap-free formula effectively cleans and removes makeup without irritating skin. Botanical extracts of aloe, rose, chamomile, rosemary and cucumber refresh and soothe the skin. Skin is clear, smooth and prepped for the maximum benefits of the Age Reverse regimen.  This is Suitable for all skin types which I think is a plus. The price is $35.00 which is a little pricey but with my past experiance with this company its well worth the price. At first my MIL  wasn't sure if she liked it and we discussed that she should try it longer and give it more time. It states that you'll start seeing results with in 16 weeks but in this product and the other one I'm gonna mention I could see an improvment with in two weeks.  Here is the other product I got as well!





Now as you might be able to see is this is the Day Repair spf 20 its suppose to Firm and plump deeper wrinkles,Target uneven pigmentation and Protect and repair. Its a potent solution to help reverse all the signs of skin aging during daylight hours. First, UV filters and a triple antioxidant complex of pomegranate, Vitamins A and E fend off free radicals and shield skin from daily environmental aggressors, allowing the repair cycle to begin. A triple firming complex of peptides, retinol and patented NeoGlucosamine join forces to boost both collagen and its surrounding support matrix, maximizing skin filling and plumping benefits. Skin appears firmer, lifted, and deep wrinkles are smoothed from the inside out. At skin’s surface, an effective level of retinol and NeoGlucosamine™ lightly exfoliate, increase cell renewal, diminish the appearance of uneven pigment and age spots, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The result is visibly refined skin texture and a more even, luminous and youthful complexion. Now again foolish me forgot to take pictures so you could see on my mother in law how it worked. Now it wasn't a HUGE improvement after only two weeks but when she told me to take a look and see what i thought I could see that her skin looked smoother and that what wrinkles she did have weren't as visible as before. I told her with more use of the products together i'm sure she would see more results after more time. Again as for right now her skin looked good. Now this product runs retail price for $60.00. You could also get the Exuviance Age Reverse Introductory Collection for $68.00 which gets you all 4 products in this new line. 



As you can tell all four products is much cheaper when buying together. If you check out the website www.NeoStrata.com you can see the before and after pictures.  I hope this post was useful. They have many other products to offer as well. Go Check them out and if you have already let me know what you think in the comments :)
